Peoria Man Sentenced for Gun Store Heist
A Peoria man has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for his involvement in the theft of nine firearms during the burglary of a gun store in Tazewell County, Illinois.
Jaquon Timothy, 19, of the 1600 block of South Stanley Street in Peoria, Illinois, was sentenced on March 24, 2022, to 22 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for his involvement in the theft of nine firearms during the burglary of a gun store on October 29, 2020.
Timothy had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal and possess firearms from a federal firearms licensee; stealing from a federal firearms licensee; and possession of a stolen firearm.
The burglary occurred at the Thompson Trading Company, a federally licensed firearms dealer located in Creve Coeur, Illinois, at approximately 2:03 AM on October 29, 2020. Security camera footage showed six individuals committing the burglary, with three individuals entering the business and three remaining outside the front doors.
The individuals on the inside of the store were seen stealing firearms, and a subsequent inventory indicated that nine firearms were stolen from the federal firearms licensee during the burglary, including a Colt 9mm AR-15 rifle equipped with a high-capacity magazine.
Timothy was one of five defendants involved in the burglary, and four other defendants have also pleaded guilty to charges connected to the incident. Deondra Proctor, 20, of the 2000 block of South Friedan Street in Peoria, was sentenced to 27 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Tyruis Bramlett, Jr., 19, of the 6500 block of North University Street in Peoria, was sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Devin Price, 22, of the 100 block of Walnut Court in East Peoria, Illinois, was sentenced to a total of 66 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Zabian Hatcher, 22, of the 200 block of West Marquette Street in Peoria, was sentenced to a total of 84 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
The statutory penalties for conspiracy to steal and possess firearms from a federal firearms licensee are up to five years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and up to three years of supervised release.
Each of the defendants has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since their arrests.
